Is ADD selective? Sounds to me like if you can't focus on math, but can focus on writing or drawing or whatever for hours, chances are you dont have it.

When I play a patient and relaxed game I win - that simple.

back on the ADD thing.

10% of males have it. Hard number.

And it is selective. I can play the mind numbing games like FM and Railroads for hours, but I can't focus on other things for more than 20 minutes.

20 minutes? 20 seconds is more than enough for me unless I'm particularly interested in something.
